Live Q & A Session

Equine Grass Sickness (EGS)
A devastating disease with an 80% fatality rate that can occur anywhere in temperate areas of the
world where equids are kept. Cases go back over 100 years, but the cause remains unknown.
Research hampered by a lack of samples from EGS cases and co-grazer control –
our presenters explain how we can aid critical research progress, leading to a worldwide
understanding of the triggers and causes of the disease – and in turn, the answers that will ultimately protect equines in the future.
